Instead of it being given to her.

My theory: We need a conflict for season 3 now that Grogu is gone, so they came up with this.

Season 3 is definitely going to be the effort to restore Mandalore.

I mean what kind of story would that be? "Oh yeah some random cultist beat the shit out of Giden but gave it back to him so I could beat his ass." I think Din is going to keep the Darksaber and just straight up become Mandalore with something like "the father" as his epithet.

But would the other Mandalorians accept him? From what Bo implied, his little sect aren't super popular with the general populace.

He has the conch.

I mean darksaber.

Din as Mandalore is 100% on the table.

I would imagine that would depend on just how loyal different sects are to the idea of the possessor of the Darksaber being Mandalore. Probably a few out there who see the tradition as outdated. But there are also probably some really fanatical believers in it as well so I think DIn can muster up some support.

I think season 3 is going to be fully focused on Mandalorian traditions with them as a society beginning to move away from their more outdated ideas which Din, who we have seen begun to really loosen up on things like his helmet wearing, is in a pretty good place to spearhead.

According to IGN a new KOTOR game is rumored to be in development without Bioware and EA

Now this is just a rumor so lets not get too hype, but I am cautiously optimistic if this is true. While I would prefer the original team made this rumored new game, Bioware has kinda lost its shine these days. And it would be nice to have Old Republic stuff brought back into canon.

Holy shit, I'm early in season 2 of Clone Wars where they're invading some planet and Anakin, Obi Wan, and that Jedi with two brains had to rendezvous and it all goes wrong...shit's a little intense, no? Two brain straight up used flametrhowers to clear a tunnel. There's having that "Hey, there's Anakin" moment while one burns alive next to double dome.

Wow.
